However, I don't think the evidence is that solid. The shinguards indeed are worn under the socks! But there is obviously a grey zone here. In those cases not specifically described in the rulebook, the referee must use his judgment: "Is this dangerous to the player himself or another player?" In that case, the answer would probably be "no".

With that said, since I've never encountered this situation, I can't say out of any doubt that this way of wearing the shinguards and socks is not dangerous. But I can't figure how it could alter the protection granted by "normally" worn shinguards.
